Event Information:
Stephanie Wirmel: “The Distance between Goodbyes,” choreographed by Stephanie Wirmel, shows the process people go through after losing loved ones and the time it takes to allow oneself to accept death and say goodbye.
Kirsten Ginnings: "It is me, Elizabeth", choreographed by senior Kirsten Ginnings, is about the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. It is a glimpse into the life of a young woman who is trying to cope with her loss of a loved one.
Emily McNabb: “Now Serving” shines light on a daily, monotonous activity we all must endure. These activities influence dances on stage through quirky, humanistic characteristics.
Taryn Tompkins: “Cosmos: Carefree and Curious” is a group dance set to a variety of new age “space music” including artists such as Fennesz & Sakamoto and Carbon Based Lifeforms as well as text from Orson Welles 1938 radio broadcast of The War of the Worlds. Inspired by the magic, beauty, endless, and possibilities of infinite time and space, this piece explores weightlessness and floating through a youthful curiosity.
Ruthie McKinney: "Breaking Bread," choreographed by Ruthie McKinney is about the awakening that happens in someone when they encounter Christ's love, and then the progression of true community out of this. It reflects on some of the early Church and what Acts chapter two says about what Christians should look like to the world.
Terrynan Elouise Davis: “Wait for Me,” the newest work from choreographer Terrynan Elouise Davis explores the rebuilding of relationships after a large-scale societal breakdown.
Kandice Stehlik: “Progressing Cohabitation” is an exploration of the progression of relationships. It plays with the development of relationships, the dynamics, and its effect on the individuals involved.
Carissa Topham: “Consuming Civilization” by Carissa Topham is about portraying humans as filthy parasites who have been overcome by greed and the desire to consume.
